Product catalog summary

Overview of Forming Technologies Incorporated (FTI):
Forming Technologies Incorporated (FTI) is a leading developer of computer-aided engineering software focused on the design and simulation of sheet metal components. With over 19 years of experience, FTI provides innovative software and training solutions to OEMs and suppliers in the automotive, aerospace, and appliance industries, aiming to reduce development time and material costs.

CATSTAMP Software:
CATSTAMP is a PLM-enabled draw development analysis tool that integrates with CATIA V5. It provides detailed formability analysis for stamped components, evaluating feasibility and identifying potential issues such as splitting, wrinkling, and thinning. The software helps determine if a component can be stamped consistently at minimum cost while meeting all product performance requirements.

Key Features:

Accurate prediction of binder and addendum geometry feasibility.
Immediate identification of formability issues including splitting, wrinkling, and thinning.
Native integration with CATIA V5 for associative and regenerative draw development analysis.
Evaluation of alternate part designs and processing conditions such as pressure pads, drawbeads, and binder layout.
Thinning plot and forming limit diagram to identify potential hot spots and formability issues.
Simulation results include safety zones, forming zones, FLD, splitting, thinning, wrinkling, thickening, stress, strain, and optimal blank shape.
Analysis of tailor-welded parts with multiple weld lines.
Customizable material database and PLM integration with results stored in CATAnalysis file.

CATSTAMP CATSTAMP provides CATIA V5 users with detailed formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components and draw developments. Formability analysis is based on component or die geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, blank holder force, pressure pad, drawbeads, curved binder, and displacement constraints. CATSTAMP determines if a component can be stamped consistently with minimum cost, while fulfilling all product performance requirements. Thinning Plot Helps Identify Potential Hot Spots Stamping evaluation at every stage of product and process development...
